[ she shakes her head, making a soft noise of disapproval. ]

I just want to stay here. Like this.

[sortileges]

[ He laughs softly at that, hugging her close. ]

Even though the water is going to turn us into prunes?

[psycholawgy]

[ she kicks and makes a splash as she puffs her cheeks again. ]

I guess not...

[sortileges]

[ He gives her cheek a gentle pat. ]

No? [ He can't grinning stupidly at her though because honestly she's just too cute... Help him. ]

[psycholawgy]

We should probably go...

[ she makes a soft whining noise, like a displeased dog. ]

[sortileges]

[ He kisses her nose. ] We can come back here after probably. So maybe the massage would be good for next if you want?

[ That said and done, he's just going to give her another squeeze and rub his thumb against her cheek. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ that's comforting enough, and it makes her smile. ]

Yeah. Maybe we can come back. And a massage sounds great, too. Maybe I can finally sleep, then.

[ she shifts again in until she can finally get up, though as she gets up, her boobs probably end up way too close to his face. sorry, merl. ]

[sortileges]

[ SCREAMS INTERNALLY...

He tries to turn his head away, but the flush on his cheeks probably isn't missed by the old alien lady who whistles this time and ah--

He bites his lip too hard, making it bleed. ]

Probably... [ He follows her out though, making a grab for his robe when they're by the hangers again. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ too bad athena doesn't even notice what her chest has done :')

she puts her robe back on and the just has the towel hang on her shoulders like a lazy person. she can't be assed to put her hair up every time. 8( it's a lot of hair... ]

Merlin, your, ah- [ she points to her own bottom lip. ]

[sortileges]

[ She doesn't... It's a lot more unclothed unlike the last time this happened too.

To put it simply: he's not okay. He licks his lip when she points it out, tasting the tang of blood. ] It's fine, it's probably the air or something.

[ More like he just chomped into it. ] Shall we?

[ His hand reaches out for hers to lead her towards the massage rooms. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ oh how she wishes she could have licked it off instead

she clings onto his arm rather than just grab his hand when he offers it to her. ]

Massage time!

[sortileges]

[ that's how you end up with hepatitis...

But okay, this is cuter, he's okay with this. He keeps his arm steady for her as they walk along, his other hand moving to pat her arm gently, rubbing her hand a little. ]

Here. It looks like one of the rooms is free.

[psycholawgy]

[ this is probably how they'll be walking from now on. her clinging to his arm and everything... ah...

once they reach one of the rooms, though, she lets go of him and opens the door to poke her head in before finally going inside. she greets the masseuses with a very bright "hello" before she takes a seat on one of the beds. ]

[sortileges]

[ That's okay, he's more than okay with this (especially since she has a robe on!!!)

Though she's a lot perkier than he is, considering now they're there he's nervous about this being another awful massage. He sits a bit awkwardly, though the two masseuses actually give them both a step by step explanation of what they'll do.

It's already going better lbr. They offer to put the screen up if they want it, and considering this is embarrassing enough already he just stays quiet to let Athena decide that. His head is probably going to stay mushed to the table anyway. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ SHE ALREADY SAW HIS ASS EARLIER LET'S NOT HAVE HER SEE IT AGAIN

THE SCREEN IS GOING UP

and the second it does, athena undresses and covers herself in just a towel then lays on the bed and gets comfortable. ]

[sortileges]

[ ASSES ARE COVERED YOU WEIRDO........ Though he's doing the same on his side, relieved that they can do it this way. Once he's laid out on the table he wiggles a bit, jumping slightly when he feels oil being dribbled along his back. The masseuse warms their hands up then begins and oh dear lord.

It's difficult to keep still when hands are sliding over you to spread out the oil then pressing down. His poor lip is going to end up bloody again as he keeps in the first set of noises anyway. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ athena doesn't even bother to strike up a conversation. she just straight up goes to sleep after telling her masseuse to go hard on her. uwu ]

[sortileges]

[ STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO GO HARD ON YOU

But no it's definitely good that she goes to sleep because he's not going to be able to keep quiet for the next 30 - 45 minutes as his shoulders are done then down along his back. The worlds limpest noodle is right here, friends. The masseuse even does along his legs, though by that point he's probably drifting to sleep as well.

Apparently it isn't a first, though when they use dry cloths to wipe off the oil he definitely feels kind of gross, like he needs another shower stat. ]

Athena are you nearly done?

[ Or is she still asleep tbh... ]

[psycholawgy]

[ she's definitely still asleep, even when her masseuse whispers to her that they're done and gives her shoulder a pat.

why did she wake up at 5am and agree to this... she's sleeping so soundly, even without the bracelet around her wrist. ]

[sortileges]

[ The masseuse can't even handle her more than they have to wrap her up either. They do, at least, cover her so she has some privacy going on but... They honestly don't know what to do. They have other people waiting outside, too, so it isn't as though she can just nap there.

It means that the masseuse ends up dragging him over to help. He leans down to slide her hair away from her ear and tries as well. ]

Athena, you need to wake up. [ Why does this keep happening on their dates... girl fix your sleeping ways. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ her eyes open slowly and it takes a couple of seconds for her vision to stop being blurry, and she lets out a soft "huh?" in response.

then she realises she's not in her own room and pushes herself up-- wait, why is her chest cold? she glances down... ah. . . the massage. without even noticing merlin there, she grabs the other side of the towel to cover her front. hopefully merlin didn't see anything.

she looks around for her masseuse and that's when she notices him. and she looks even more confused than before. ]

Why are you on my side?

[sortileges]

[ Don't worry, as soon as she moves his eyes squeeze shut to ensure he doesn't see anything. He keeps his eyes shut the entire time after, too. ]

Because someone didn't get enough sleep last night and they couldn't wake them up. I wonder who that is?

[ He probably shouldn't tease her when he can't see because he's trying to be respectful... ]

[psycholawgy]

[ merlin is lucky she's too zen right now to smack him, because she would. she would. ]

Sorry. I was sleeping so soundly.

[ she looks at her masseuse now and bows her head slightly, thanking them for the great massage she just had. then she turns back to him. ]

Is it time to go?

[sortileges]

[ It is a good thing, but he's keeping his eyes tightly shut still. ]

Are you ready? They need to let in more people, which is why they had me try to help.

[psycholawgy]

Keep your eyes closed.

[ she turns around to grab her swimsuit to put it back on. it doesn't take long for her to do so, and she wraps the towel around her body again. ]

Okay, ready.
